[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8201540, member: 7023840"] Seriously? Are you spoiling for a fight? Let me make this explicitly clear: I was responding to [USER=5142]@Aldarc[/USER] who stated that 5e was often referred to as the second-favorite edition on these forums (aka, "here"). I made a joke that most people understand to be self-denigrating that invokes the fact that most of the people commenting on these forums are, in fact, older - not only "3e" older but we also have a lot of people that go back to 2e, 1e, and OD&D. Which is why people here would think of 5e as their second-favorite edition; because most people fall in love with their FIRST game they play. Now, I will explain this in even more painstaking detail. Many of the olds here, like me, played another edition first, that we fell in love with. So 5e is most likely to be our second-favorite edition. But a person who has just come into the game would only have played 5e, so it would be their first love, and their favorite edition. Therefore, sampling the comments here would necessarily be skewed, because ... wait for it ... the people who type long comments on the forum are going to be older than the people who have just started playing D&D with 5e. Now, if you would like to get into giant INTERNETZ FIGHT, feel free, but I need to go yell at some clouds. Take care! [/QUOTE]
